If GM functions under the assumption that it's OK to build cars that suffer major engine damage shortly after 3 years, then they deserve to go broke. I think it's reasonable for a customer to expect engine and manifold gaskets to last longer than 3 years. Moreover, GM knew about this problem all along. They kept producing faulty parts regardless. This wasn't a rare problem, it was common.
Yes you are the sole owner, but it's not in GM's best interest to tell these people that it's their problem now. Since it was a known problem, GM should pay for repairs for 6 years, after that, split the costs with the customer. It's responsible when you as the manufacturer are at fault and it's also good customer service, which is important in a competitive market. You wouldn't take this nonsense with other products.
I am sorry I assumed every one knew that when you buy a car you have the choice to extend that period,so the best way to screw GM would be to buy the extended and make those idiots pay .Then get rid of it and get another with three more years of driving freedom.This would really shut them up(You think?)
